It's always a good idea to have proof of your intention to return and re-settle in Canada if you are out of the country for up to a year or more. If you plan to return to live with family (since you might not have kept a lease all this time), then letters from your family showing they are aware of and support your plans are essential. If you are house-hunting prior to returning, document that, or if someone else is doing it for you, get proof. If you have a job offer, document it. If you have savings and investments and have kept your other ties (bank accounts etc), make sure you document these. Don't give CIC any room to question your intention to return to Canada, it can cause delays in your processing, because if they feel you haven't given enough proof, they will ask you for it.

Hey charlieD10
Yes I sent a letter with my job waiting for me in canada as for living wise I can ask my sister to write a letter for me stating I will be living in her house until we get settled again in canada I thinks thats all that I need because I do have ties with my bank accounts and as well I do have my savings there, I hope this is enough proof, thanks for ur reply

but my wife does plan to come visit me until I get approved, providing it doesn't take a long amount of time, ... I feel she does not need to provide proof in the application.

If she is just visiting, even if it is for quite a long while, she most likely won't have to present proof of intent to return. If the VO wants that, he/she will probably ask for it, not just deny you without asking for that proof.

Usually if an applicant is still fairly young, and can speak English or French well, the VO will assume they will be able to get a job in Canada - unless there is some obvious reason why they couldn't. So less proof of the sponsor's ability to support the couple will be looked for. Some discussion of your plans when you get to Canada, with proof, can be included in the application. So you could provide a copy of your university degree and a letter of reference from an employer, and state you hope to get a job in ____ field. Your wife could state she will be starting to work full time once she graduates, and show a letter from her employer offering her full-time work (or whatever similar evidence you could get). Definitely get an affidavit from her parents stating they will provide housing and will help support the two of you while you get settled.
I've only seen a couple of cases where the PR visa was refused because the VO believed there was no way the couple could support themselves. I've seen plenty of cases where actually, it looked a bit doubtful to me that they could support themselves, but where the visa was issued anyway.
